Pros: Massive zoom range, good center sharpness until beyond 100mm Cons: Corners aren't great, distortion, sharpness suffers past 100mm The Bottom Line: Great compromise lens; you give up corner sharpness and possibly some wideangle range, but you don't need to swap lenses and can succeed where 2-lens sets fail. Review: This is part of my 3-part series on Nikon consumer-grade DX lenses: 16-85, 18-105, and 18-200. from Shopping.com Pros: -pretty cheap-VR Vibration Reduction-zoom range-light -3.8-5.6 competiton: 3.8-6.5 Cons: -not the sharpest tool in the shed Review: Took it to Mexico, and it did the job. Not a pro lens, but walk around. Worth the money. from Shopping.com Pros: Vibration Reduction; covers all the focal lengths I need Cons: Not sealed (getting some dust specks in between front elements) The Bottom Line: Great lens. Worth the price for not having to swap lenses. from Shopping.com Pros: The true miracle lens. It's all good! from Shopping.com Pros: One lens convenience. Fast. from Shopping.com Pros: Good optics. Cons: Poorly designed zoom lens. Review: When I bought this lens, one year ago, it did not creep. from Shopping.com Pros: High quality optics, Vibration Reduction. Cons: Some distortion, Cost, Build Quality, reversed Focus & Zoom rings. The Bottom Line: For Nikon users without a Super-Zoom, this is a lens worth considering. Review: INTRODUCTION The Nikkor 18-200 mm f3.5-5.6G ED-IF, AF-S VR DX zoom lens is almost an alphabet soup of designators for a lens that has both many admirers and numerous critics. from Shopping.com Pros: Vibration reduction really helps camera shake. Sharp Lens. Great focal length range. from Shopping.com Pros: Compact size, Great zoom range, Vibration reduction technology Cons: Variable aperture means this is not as fast as a professional lens The Bottom Line: This lens sets a new standard for super-zooms. The sharpness and vibration technology make it worth the extra money when compared to super zoom lenses by Tamron and Sigma. from Shopping.com Pros: Versatilty and Sharpness Cons: Lens Distortion at the wide end Price is too high The Bottom Line: It a jack of all trades but master of none! Review: Out of the box, the lens looks well built and finished. from Shopping.com
